Paula Patton shows off her amazing body while lounging nearly topless by the pool in Vanity Fair‘s June 2014 issue.

Here’s what the 38-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On her split withRobin Thicke: “We’ve known each other since we were teenagers. All I can tell you is there’s a deep love there—always was, and always will be.”

On working in production after college: “I felt uncomfortable in my own skin, so I liked the other side of the camera. It took until I was 27 to say, ‘You only have one life to live, so you might as well go and see if you can act.’”

On filming the video game movie Warcraft: “I’ve never been big into video games. But the Warcraft script reads more like a complex, epic novel.”
